GORE® Magnet Wire for Oil & Gas Downhole Motors
Extend motor life, increase tool reliability and minimize the risk of unexpected failures with our durable, robust magnet wire.
Longer Motor Life, Increased Tool Reliability, Maximum Voltage Endurance
With exceptional resistance to extreme downhole conditions, GORE® Magnet Wires are proven to maintain the highest voltage endurance, unmatched by traditional heavy build enameled wires. Our wires have a unique engineered fluoropolymer insulation that’s resistant to difficult conditions like chemicals, hydrolysis, and up to high pressure, high temperature (HPHT) environments.
Maintains Maximum Voltage Endurance Against Polymide Enameled Wire
GORE Magnet Wire is proven to provide durable mechanical protection and superior electrical performance continuously in severe downhole environments. Conclusions from testing showed that the polyimide enameled wire became brittle and cracked right away under mechanical stress. This type of wire lost its insulation resistance and voltage breakdown performance, which is unacceptable when trying to avoid tool failures, keep on schedule, and stay on budget.
A comparison of GORE Magnet Wire to a polyimide enameled wire using ASTM/NEMA MW 1000 test method. The same AWG size with comparable insulation thicknesses was used for both wires. The dielectric voltage breakdown after 12 days exposure to hydrolysis in 0.3% H2O and synthetic oil at 280°C was tested.
Improved Electrical and Mechanical Performance
Manufacturers can count on:
- enhanced durability due to specialized insulation materials
- exceptional resistance to aggressive chemicals and hydrolysis
- superior electrical performance in wide-ranging temperatures up to 260°C
- proven highest voltage endurance in harshest downhole environments
- longer motor life and increased tool reliability
- minimize the risk of unexpected failures
